firewire, ieee1394: update Kconfig help Update the Kconfig help texts of both stacks to encourage a general move from the older to the newer drivers. However, do not label ieee1394 as "Obsolete" yet, as the newer drivers have not been deployed as default stack in the majority of Linux distributions yet, and those who start doing so now may still want to install the old drivers as fallback for unforeseen issues. Since Linux 2.6.32, FireWire audio devices can be driven by the newer firewire driver stack too, hence remove an outdated comment about audio devices. Also remove comments about library versions since the 2nd generation of libraw1394 and libdc1394 is now in common use; details on library versions can be read at the wiki link from the help texts.

firewire: new stack is no longer experimental The new stack is now recommended over the old one if used for industrial video (IIDC/DCAM) or for storage devices (SBP-2) due to better performance, improved compatibility, added features, and security. It should also be functionally on par with and is more secure than the old ieee1394 stack in the use case of consumer video devices. IP-over-1394 support for the new stack is currently emerging, and a backend of the firedtv DVB driver to the new stack should be available soon. The one remaining area where the old stack is still required are audio devices, as the new stack is not yet able to support the FFADO FireWire audio framework.

This is the new-generation IEEE 1394 (FireWire) driver stack
a.k.a. Juju, a new implementation designed for robustness and
simplicity.
See http://ieee1394.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Juju_Migration
for information about migration from the older Linux 1394 stack
to the new driver stack.

firewire: add Kconfig help on building both stacks Alas that won't work so good, because nobody reads help texts.
